Why this worksSpring weather can be unpredictable, with heat and humidity threatening to melt your makeup. By using the right techniques and products, you can lock in your look, ensuring it stays vibrant and fresh. It’s all about creating a strong base and using setting techniques that work with the season.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a lightweight moisturiser suited for your skin type to create a smooth canvas. Consider a primer to help your makeup adhere better and last longer.
  2. Use Long-Wear Products Opt for long-lasting foundations and concealers that are designed to resist sweat and humidity. These products often have a matte finish which can help control shine throughout the day.
  3. Set with Powder Once your base is applied, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over your T-zone and any areas that tend to get oily. This helps to lock everything in place and prevents creasing.
  4. Finish with Setting Spray Complete your makeup routine by spritzing a setting spray over your face. This adds an extra layer of protection against the elements and helps to keep your makeup looking fresh and dewy.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is skipping primer, which can lead to makeup sliding off. Another is using too much powder, which can create a cakey look instead of a natural finish. Finally, neglecting to set with spray can leave your makeup vulnerable to humidity.

The pro moveTry using a hydrating setting spray for an extra dewy finish that feels refreshing.
